Nintendo just announced that their upcoming Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 presentation is scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, April 2, 2025. If you’re planning to watch, set aside about an hour, as the broadcast is expected to run for 60 minutes.
Mark your calendars and tune in at 6 AM PT, 9 AM ET, 2 PM BST, or 3 PM CEST to catch all the exciting updates. It’s an event that fans have been eagerly anticipating, especially after the official unveiling of the Nintendo Switch 2 last month. That announcement finally put to rest all the swirling rumors and supposed leaks about the new console.
In a brief but exciting reveal video, we got a glimpse of the console’s design, a hint at a brand-new Mario Kart game, and confirmation that the new hardware will support backward compatibility with the original Switch games.
Nintendo has shared that the Switch 2 will accommodate both physical cartridges and digital downloads. However, they did issue a word of caution: not every game from the original Switch might run or be fully functional on the new system.
Looking ahead, the Nintendo Switch 2 is slated for a global release in 2025, though an exact date hasn’t been pinned down yet. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates.
